FRISCO, Texas \u2014 Vegas noticed quickly.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys had opened as 1.5-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles in the looming Saturday matchup of playoff-bound NFC East teams.<\/p>\n

Then news broke Monday afternoon that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts may not play.<\/p>\n

Hurts to a sprain in his throwing shoulder, a person with knowledge of the diagnosis confirmed Yahoo Sports, and his status is \u201cup in the air for this week.\u201d The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly disclose Hurts’ medical information.<\/p>\n

The loss of any team’s starting quarterback hurts. The loss of an MVP candidate-caliber player like Hurts, more so.<\/p>\n

By Monday evening, the Cowboys were 6-point favorites. NFL pundits know: Hurts’ dynamic, dual-threat game can’t easily be replicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s playing at an extremely high level, so super productive,\u201d Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said. \u201cI don’t think you could argue with just the production he’s put on film.\u201d<\/p>\n
